- Elite [$] — Germany, founded 17 December 1988
This early 1989 intro from Elite features music by Markus Schneider of the Lords of Sonics, who also contributed to the group's debut intro under his Diflex handle. CSDb documents this as released in February 1989, used across cracks including B.E.A.M., California Pro Golf, Firezone, and WEC Le Mans. The continued use of Schneider's compositions across multiple Elite intros indicates an established working relationship between the musician and the group. Elite was a German cracking and import group founded in December 1988, operating from both German and American headquarters. No code or graphics credits have been preserved for this particular intro. This is one of six Elite intros in this collection — alongside entries such as Elite #01 and Elite #06 — documenting the group's output during the peak cracking years of 1988–1991.
